Léo breaks a bone — 18 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 18 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

John Dembe keeps on missing
Shots: 10, not one of them in. A centre forward is paid for one thing, and on this evidence he has forgotten which thing it is.

Nobody could get near Valmir Matoshi

Julius Lucena leaves them behind him
Shots: 6. Goals: none. The chances were there and they were good ones, and they went into the stand, the goalkeeper's arms and the side netting in roughly that order.
In brief
- Market Léo linked with a move away
- Market The shop window has Jelte Priem in it
- Market Joseph Pearson leaves for nothing
